So it looks like the wrong configuration. A log listing may have helped you identify the error:

Is there some sort of log file that would say the hosts file was formatted incorrectly?

Probably not, the only correct (relevant) values are here:

related to this original post....
I am finding that bwmon dies periodically. not sure why or how to tell what happened. When this happens, I also lose all my history data as well. I am writing a script to lift this data hourly to an Oracle DB to keep track of.
but I do enable and start and it seems to run again. any debugging advice would be appreciated.
It happened when I was adding new devices to my DHCP table. I only have 80 entries. I would expect to be able to add 255.
Is there a danger in running a cron script that does this every 5 or 10 minutes? It is important to me to keep track of bandwidth accurately.
Case in point, my son went to school and left his Nintendo Switch powered on and in the dock. things went fine most of the day but within 30 minutes, for some reason, it downloaded 5GB of data. His 5GB limit was reached and Gargoyle slowed him down to dial-up 64kbs. If I had not had gargoyle in place, the Switch would have killed my comcast 1TB limit in no time.
